The Shy Girl

Name _____________________

Martina could hardly wait for the end of class because she hoped she would see her friend Vinko in the hallway. When Martina peeked out of the classroom, she saw Vinko with a group of boys and girls from his own class. Nevertheless, Martina bravely went into the hallway and started walking toward the group. Suddenly, everyone turned to look at her. Someone in Vinko's group said something that Martina couldn't hear, and all the kids started to giggle and point in the direction of Martina's feet. Martina turned red and looked down at her feet, but she couldn't see anything unusual.
